the world of Kirby is hilarious to me because Dream Land is the happiest gumdrop rainbow world you'll ever see, and its king and all his friends like to beat the crap out of each other for fun

and then you have Meta Knight, who has such a lust for violence that he must play Fight Club with Kirby every so often, or else he goes crazy and starts blasting cities with his battleship

(and even when he is so satiated, that need to fight is what things like the Jamba Heart and ID-F86 have preyed on when they tried to brainwash him into evil)

#kirby #kirby of the stars #meta knight #it's funny - there's a lot of stories and franchises ABOUT fighting that don't even have this dynamic happening #and yet this happy colorful world is the one where folks gather for Kirby Battle Royales and Kirby Fighters 2s...for fun! #like even in street fighter most ppl are in it for some reason like police work or the prize money or talent scouting for terrorists #but nah - kirby and dedede buried their grudge after super star (ultra) and when dedede isn't possessed by evil he's just having fun

putting my hands on your shoulders looking directly into your eyes why are you so insistent that Dazai is faking every emotion every second of every day except when he's acting mean or evil why do you think his dark side is more true than his happier or sillier sides

do you not also have multiple facets you show different people? are we not all beautiful multifaceted individuals? are your actions and reactions not influenced by your emotions and state of mind?

can't he laugh at his own jokes? can't he fondly think of the Agency? can't he be dramatic because he wants to? can't he be surprised by something suddenly happening, even if he knew it would happen? do you not jump when the jack in the box gets out even if you were the one working the mechanism?

why would the mean persona be more real? why would any and all joy be faked? why are you only allowing him misery?

#sorry i saw one too many posts talking about dazai's ''masks'' and how he hides his true self from the ada #and what of it if he still has the potential to hurt others? what of it if he's good at hurting? every day he chooses not to lean into it #not too far at the very least. #isn't kyouk.a skilled at killing? did she not choose not to do it? #i'm not saying dazai's never acting (because it does happen) i'm saying too many people are too quick to brush off- #every non-serious non-mean emotion as ''playing an act'' #why would the mean persona not be a fake?? you thought about that??? what biases are you holding here #he makes jokes. he acts silly. he's a drama queen. he loves it. #you know what IS tiring? having to look evil and untouchable and impassive in front of a whole organization every day as a teenager #as soon as he gets to lupin with od.a and ang.o he goes silly mode. heck- when he *met* ang.o it was because he went silly mode. #as soon as chuuy.a is in proximity he starts yelling children's insults and starts stupid competitions #his silly mode is just as integrated into his personality as the capacity to be the scariest most evil person you've seen #they are not mutually exclusive and having the capacity for either does not mean acting on them #as asagiri said in an interview: bsd isn't about change it's about adaptation. kyouk.a has the talent to kill. she just chooses not to. #dazai has the skills to be evil. he just chooses good. #that got long in the tags sorry #apparently i talk sometimes

I cannot imagine being a Damian stan right now. You've got both Zdarsky's bullshit (where he clearly doesn't give a shit about your boy) and The Boy Wonder (where Juni Ba clearly gives so many shits about your boy) coming out on the same day. The whiplash must be insane. I hope y'all get some nice warm soup for your efforts jfc

#damian wayne #damian al ghul #damian al ghul wayne #batman #batfamily #for all of the issues that come with having Steph as your fave having too much wild shit happening at once is never one of them #btw I quite like The Boy Wonder Issue 1. wow shocker an artist and writer who I have liked everything they've ever done #has once again written something that I am enjoying with art that makes me want to be part of its world. #it's almost like Juni Ba is really freaking talented or something #like I have some problems with it but it seems like many of those are part of the point. Damian is learning that his siblings are more #three-dimensional than he realized and that is part of this 'coming of age' story merged with fairytale #so I can't be mad at the oversimplistic defining of Dick and Jason and Tim until the conclusion of the series. that might be the point. #I hope that the series will address Steph as a Robin but if not then frankly it's not an issue unique to this series. #I'll be annoyed and disappointed but ultimately roll with it like I am with Babsgirl being here. There's too much good stuff here to get #hung up on shit that seems to be almost an editorial mandate at this point. at least that's where I'm at. #I am also very sorry that Chip Zdarsky is massacring your boy. he has 'X (Tim for him) is the best Robin so everyone else must suck' diseas #where a writer really likes one specific Robin and in trying to uplift them demeans all of the other Robins. instead of like...just writing #for that one character only or alternatively not demeaning the other characters in order to make his blorbo look good #it's wild because I actually think his writing for Tim is pretty solid. but he's not writing a Tim series. he's writing a Batman series. #and if you are going to write a Batman series and include other Batfamily members you need to actually write them well. #instead of assigning them like 2 personality traits while Tim gets to be a whole character #I accept that behavior in fanfic where I have lesser standards because it's fucking free. not a comic run that wants me to pay #tens of dollars in order to understand what the fuck is going on. he's been going for a while now it's gotta be a lot of money. #I can buy Steelworks with that money. I can see John Henry and Natasha Irons in a trade. Fuck you Chip. #it's why it takes such a special person to write a good ensemble story/a good Batfamily story. you have to be good at writing a LOT #of different characters. which I don't think most people are. I sure as hell am not. I can write maybe 3 at a time confidently well. #and you also have to give all of them at least SOME love or else people will be upset that you aren't focusing on their fave #and also the writing as a whole will suffer. Chip Zdarsky is a pretty good Tim writer. I'd maybe read a Tim solo written by him. #I would not read a story focusing on multiple characters that I like written by Chip Zdarsky. because every character who isn't Tim #is at least a bit weak/inconsistent/out of character INCLUDING FUCKING BATMAN. THE NO. 1 GUY MOST ARE HERE FOR

loser troll has finally gotten around to plagiarizing me (his shit post vs my drabble that was clearly the 'insp' for it given that he literally stole lines and dialogue). keep in mind that my drabble was posted in may of last year, recently self reblogged, and then his blog which [checks archives] didn't exist until today.

anyway if you see a blog post with a soren, sarai, callum drabble featuring sarai teaching soren how to fight in the main tags it's plagiarized/stolen work, thank you

#blog-hordika-us #use of the word 'loitered' similar setup clearly a 'rebuttal' to one very biased soren pov line about callum not being a warrior #bc character bias can never be something that a story has!! #+ stolen lines such as 'a warrior are you' and 'i want to be' #and typical hordi fashion of making something that isn't about callum at all exclusively about him (im Shocked) #fandom nonsense #tdp #the dragon prince #i don't like putting this in the main tags but his shit is in the main tags so. yeah #and i Know he's plagiarized other people so #hordi's lack of talent

little something I whipped up, imagine being able to do all 3

#reigen arataka #hayakawa aki #nanami kento #mob psycho 100 #mp100 #chainsaw man #csm #jujutsu kaisen #jjk #I know arguably nanami is responsible for kids although not really #and that aki isn't exactly pro kids in violence but he's also not inherently opposed to it but also denji and power aren't regular kids #originally it was going to be supernaturally talented at their job which reigne could arguably also fit but eh #trifecta of dudes

"And so, while he isn't as difficult to manage as I originally anticipated... I would still have less difficulty in selling my company and starting up a dairy farm. But overall, I'd grade Daniel a C+ in terms of "Ease of Protecting."

"Addendum, since Daniel is being so fussy-- I have instead decided to bump him down to a solid C instead." "HEY!!"

Thank you to @princess-pathetic-112898 for the ask!

just saw someone in the drive away dolls tag complaining about how pedro pascal was only going to be in the movie for five minutes and how that meant "clearly he's being exploited". bestie i'm sorry the lesbian roadtrip movie is about two lesbians on a roadtrip and not pedro pascal.

#some people are so annoying #like i get he's your fave #and don't get me wrong i love the guy #i think he's really talented #but like #be serious #people can just have small roles in movies #it's fine #also the fact that people are ignoring the clear protagonists of the film #two women #one of whom is a woman of color #to just whine about how their male fave isn't getting enough attention just doesn't sit right with me #like besties this isn't a story about a character pascal would play grow up #and the babygirlification of pedro pascal can get really really weird sometimes like #that is a whole person #a whole adult man #let's be sensible about this #anyway i'm really excited for the film i just need the pedro girlies to take a chill pill #drive away dolls #drive-away dolls #ethan coen #coen brothers #margaret qualley #geraldine viswanathan #beanie feldstein #mine

Don't you just take the past and put it in a room in the basement and lock the door and never go in there? [...] And then you meet someone special and all you want to do is toss them the key. Say, "Open up. Step inside." But you can't. Because it's dark and there are demons, and if anybody saw how ugly it is...

-The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)

#black sails #the talented mr. ripley #idk if this is anything but i just watched the talented mr. ripley and i was struck by how much tom ripley reminded me of silver #(obviously the talented mr. ripley came out first but i watched black sails first) #in the sense that you spend all this time watching this character #and then you get to the end and it's like. i'm not sure i know who this person is #and even though ripley *says* that he wants to show someone his past it's never going to happen #they will both always fundamentally be unknowable #also you do not want to know how long i spent scrubbing through the last couple of episodes of black sails for a screenshot to go with this #and the one i ended up with isn't even that good 🥲 #truly i suffer for my art (by which i mean weird tumblr posts) #kvetch oc

oppy is a warlock who is really, really convinced he's a bard. he doesn't get why the others keep pointing out the unearthly whispers he utters in his sleep or the demonic eyes that open around him when he casts spells. it is obviously just his musician swag

#slay the princess #stp #voice of the opportunist #he really made a deal with an outer god and is fully convinced that it just gave him a music lesson #'I don't know how to play the flute when I'm not doing it and couldn't actually tell you anything about music #I guess I'm just THAT naturally talented' #also flute bc tell me that bitch isn't the pied piper

The thing about TNG is that the space aliens and moral quandaries are always like, the least insane part of the episode

#star trek tng #star trek #tng #watching Loud As A Whisper right now #because I wanted to know more about sign language in the Star Trek universe #and anyways I'm only 15 minutes in and I have notes #1) Picard saying 'cluck cluck cluck' to Riker was so ??? #broski who talks that way #2) your mission is to pick up and shuttle an incredibly important diplomat #and you're telling me the mission briefing didn't include the fact that he was deaf??? #3) I absolutely don't believe that Riva is some exceptionally talented peace negotiator #because every interaction he has with another person makes me want to punch him in the face #4) His initial interaction with Geordie is like... some abled persons weird fantasy of how disabled people interact with each other #You're telling me this guy is deaf. has deaf parents. and still reacts to other peoples disabilities like they're brand new? #5) The Universal Translator Isn't Universal If It Doesn't Translate Sign Languages #6) Why does Picard act like he's never met a deaf person before??? Do they not have deaf humans in the future?? #anyways I understand that this was probably a pretty progressive episode for it's time #but it ages weird #like the world building seems very poorly thought through

I saw this post and thought of the opposite situation. https://www.tumblr.com/hugsandchaos/743390512031088640

Jack and Maddie get to know a ghost and realize their theories aren't always correct, and that some ghosts are actually not evil.

...And Danny's pulling at his hair because no actually that ghost is 100% evil and is just being very manipulative to them, and their theories were correct in this particular case. But he can't tell them that! D: ...So he just stays very frustrated and jittery, craving to do something but can't do anything without ruining everything.

(Tell his parents that they were actually right and the ghost is manipulating them despite how careful they are of that type of thing? No, that's a big step backward for accepting Phantom eventually. Fight the evil ghost and take his frustrations out on it? No, that's also a step backward for accepting Phantom. Aaarrgh!!)

#danny phantom #danny fenton #the fentons #asj post #'Jazz; Danny; meet Dark. He's a bit of a social pariah - but who isn't right? haha' :) #(Pariah Dark sitting on their couch; squeezed tightly to fit the small space.) #Danny: ........ #I mean... in this particular situation it'd be an AU where Danny had a similar experience with him but no one in Amity actually saw him? #So to the Fentons he's someone completely new. And to Danny he's the worst enemy possible. #Inviting his enemy into his house indeed. Worse than opening the door to see Vlad. #(I'd also thought about Plasmius or Spectra being a possible for the 'new friend'. #(Plasmius because of the irony of them accepting Vlad's ghost half but not Danny's. #(Spectra because of her manipulation talent and being a scientist of a sort herself so they could have some good conversations. #(...And then later Pariah Dark popped into my mind as the worst case possibility. And also for the 'How...?')

the moment when you realize an ai would've written a better larry show than mike waldron bc an ai would've been trained on previous loki content and thus, unlike mike, would've actually watched the films

#still not over the interview where he didn't even know that loki killed laufey even tho it was a pivotal character moment for him #or how neither he nor kate seem to get that the sylki romance could be read as selfcest or incest bc they thought it was just like #miles/gwen bc they didn't realize “loki” is a name not a title #so sylki isn't like miles/an alternate spider person. it's like miles/an alternate miles. #originally posted this in the discord but im salty so its today its going here too #I genuinely think Mike Waldron is the worst writer I have ever come across. his lack of talent is truly staggering. #Not that the others like Eric Martin are much better #still wild to me that he basically copy pasted his abominable og script and changed a few names and no one cared #or that he could get away with openly messing up basic facts about the character in interviews and showing he never even watched the movies #(The point of this post is to show how abysmally poor the quality of the Larry show was. not to advocate for ai writing) #the point is. mike couldn't even clear that very low bar. the answer is not ai. the answer was hiring actually competent writers #and not making the show with the express intent to undermine loki. bc the show wasn't just bad. it was actively malicious #loki show #loki tv series #loki season 2 #loki tv #loki series #loki tv show #random musings
